Valorization of Tomato Processing Residues Through the Production of Active Bio-Composites for Packaging Applications

The present work reports a study aimed at investigating the recovery and the upgrade of tomato processing residues through the preparation of innovative green composites based on tomato peels (TPs) and natural halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) loaded with carvacrol, as a natural antibacterial agent. The l...
